The Angry Birds Movie

SCORE: 86

We are closing in on the end of our march to Christmas with movies we watch here at Family Friendly Gaming. The Angry Birds Movie is one of the movies we had high hopes in. Thankfully we really enjoyed this animated movie based on the app, video game, and well known franchise. The Angry Birds Movie is humorous from beginning to the end. There is also some interesting commentary in The Angry Birds Movie. Some of it good, and some of it bad.

The Angry Birds Movie contains a few issues families will want to know about. There is some violence in The Angry Birds Movie. This movie really builds up to the part where the pigs get attacked by the birds with a launcher. There is also Looney Tunes kind of harm that comes to certain characters. The Angry Birds Movie also promotes the religious belief of evolution by stating the fake news story of dinosaurs being related to birds.

In the beginning of The Angry Birds Movie the birds are all happy. They do not like anger. So angry birds are sent to an annoying whack job teacher who has a class on anger management. She tries to shove the gross, disgusting and failed political correctness philosophy down the throats of the birds who have done angry things in the past. Her anti-Christian concepts can be offensive on so many levels. Thankfully Red burns her verbally at almost every opportunity.

Red is joined by the speedy Chuck (yellow bird), and the volatile Bomb (the black bird that blows up). Pigs invade their island and pretend to be friends. They ultimately steal the eggs to eat them. I noticed some commentary on how horrible abortion is in The Angry Birds Movie. At this point the happy birds turn to Red because they need an angry bird to get their unborn chicks back.

There is an interesting Eagle character in The Angry Birds Movie. Mighty Eagle is his name. The birds build a boat and sail over to the pigs island. From there they attack and save the eggs. Red is given a new house (his is destroyed when the pigs land on bird island). Red is also considered a hero in the town. Anger is no longer shunned and the residents of bird island comprehend its uses.

There are tons of extras on the Blu-ray/DVD we purchased on Black Friday. The four hatchling shorts are interesting. It was interesting that there was no Fathers Day one (just one for Mothers Day), and Merry Christmas was censored. Is Sony part of the war on men? Is Sony part of the war on Christians? They did include some other highly divisive and controversial content.
